Having been backed into a corner by a member of the Question Time audience on Thursday, Brexit Party leader, Nigel Farage, encountered a line of questioning with which he was very unhappy on Andrew Marr’s political show on Sunday morning.

This is how people reacted to the unusual spectacle of seeing Farage held to account in an interview.

Nigel Farage goes into meltdown when asked about his climate change denial, admiration for Putin and desire to privatise the NHS. It is the duty of every journalist across the country to hold his backwards views and disgraceful record to account. #Marrhttps://t.co/KH09815Lq0

Farage: “Stop talking about the things I actually said in the past to get something impossible and stoke hatred. Talk about the different things I promise now to get something impossible and stoke hatred” #marr

#Marr "Welcome to the show, about these things you said.."#Farage "This is a disgrace. the bbc, I never said that, yes I said that, typical bbc, why aren't you talking about something else, yes no yes I said I like Putin but not like that" *crashes interview and runs away* pic.twitter.com/jov6F7mlWL

This isn’t accidental. This isn’t F****e momentarily losing it. With Euro election polling as it is he feels he has a mandate to behave like this & accuse the BBC of undermining him. The irony, of course, is that by constantly platforming him, it was the BBC that fed this monster https://t.co/TVxHY4ucgJ

Every so often #Farage's mask slips and what's underneath is not pretty. Full marks to @AndrewMarr9 for persevering with polite and entirely reasonable questions for the leader of a political party. Farage doesn't answer, just plays the bully. https://t.co/T39ZFxded2

It *was* full of difficult questions. But BBC is being gamed & can’t even see it. Zero understanding of how it’s being used. This interview has already been clipped & edited. It is already out there on social media. Farage as he wants to be seen: bold, angry, attacking ‘elites’ pic.twitter.com/rM6Jx3qti3

Nigel Farage looking & sounding like a leader on #Marr. Love him or loathe him, at least he believes in what he says & argues it with passion. His popularity comes from his authenticity & his new surge is happening because democracy is being denied to those who voted for Brexit.

Authentically anti-NHS. Authentically for the rich who fund him. Authentically exploitative of hatred. Authentically pro-glib slogans without real policy solutions (no wonder you’re as far up his backside as you are up Trump’s!) Authentically falls apart when properly challenge https://t.co/Uiushc1UgP
